SAP Note 17491 - CO reports: elimination of internal business volume

Symptom:

1. As of Release 3.0:
1.a) General way of processing elimination of internal business volume with the characteristic BUEKZ when you use the variation:
The internal business volume is eliminated making use of the characteristic BUEKZ or is controlled explicitly in a line or column. The internal business volume is displayed for all subareas of the cost center hierarchy from the point of view of the upper node, that is, all allocations for the internal business volume which flowed within the group entered on the selection screen are explained for a subarea in a report.

1.b) Elimination of internal business volume in report group 1SBU:
4 reports are contained in report group 1SBU. The reports 1SBU-003 (Cost centers: Gross/net) and 1SBU-004 (Int.Bus. volume in lines) use the characteristic BUEKZ (Internal Business Volume Indicator) for the elimination of the internal business volume. As a result, the internal business volumes in these reports are only displayed referring to the upper node when you use the variation. On the lower nodes of variation or on the individual cost centers, other values than expected are therefore displayed.

2. Releases 2.1 and 2.2:
Simultaneous use of variation of the selection and the elimination of internal business volume in a Report Writer report: The internal business volume is displayed for all subareas of the cost center hierarchy from the point of view of the upper node, that is, all allocations for the internal business volume which flowed within the group entered on the selection screen are explained for a subarea in a report.

3. Releases 2.1 and 2.2:
Internal business volume which resulted from allocation to order and subsequent settlement of the order back to the area is not recognized.

Cause and prerequisites

Cause:
There is no other technical solution available at the moment.

Preconditions:
This affects reports which use the Internal Business Volume Indicator characteristic (BUEKZ).
This does not affect reports with which the indicator 'Eliminate internal business volume' in the general selections is used for the elimination of internal business volume in the Report Painter.
Nor does this affect Report Writer reports with which the indicator 'Eliminate internal business volume' in the report definition causes the elimination of the internal business volume.

Solution

re 1.a)
If this is not desired, you can use the indicator 'Eliminate internal business volume' in the general selections instead; however, then you cannot display the internal business volume in the report.

re 1.b)
Change the definition of the reports 1SBU-003 (Cost centers: Gross/net) and 1SBU-004 (Int.Bus. volume in lines). In the definition of the general selections, set the variation parameter for the characteristic 'Cost center' to 'Do not explode'. Make this change in client 000 and afterwards copy the report group 1SBU from the source client 000 to the current client.

re 2.)
Instead of the variation of the selection, use varying, if indispensable. Nonetheless, this takes a lot more CPU time since the reports are created for all subareas independently from each other. Enhanced functions of the variation of selection are only available as of Release 3.0.

re 3.)
This is contained in the standard system as of Release 3.0. You can implement an advance correction in Release 2.2. See Note 33161.
